The combination of juicy peaches, brown sugar, and all the spices that go in to make the crispy topping is nothing short of perfection.

Every bite allows you to experience all the layers of deliciousness that this dish has to offer.

To make this classic dish, you’ll need:

  • 2 (16-ounce) packages of frozen peaches, thawed with juice
  • 1 cup of granulated sugar
  • 4 tablespoons of all-purpose flour

For The Topping:

  • ¾ cup of all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup of dark brown sugar, tightly packed
  • ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup of cold cubed salted sweet cream butter
  • ¾ cup of old-fashioned rolled oats

Simple Peach Recipe Substitutions And Additions

PEACHES: You can substitute two 15.25-ounce cans of sliced peaches for the thawed frozen peaches. Reduce the bake time to 35 minutes.

TOPPING: You can garnish the topping with sanding sugar for an extra sweet crunch.

OLD-FASHIONED OATS: These are also known as rolled oats.

It’s fine to use quick-cooking oats for this delicious dessert instead if that’s what you have in the cupboard.

CINNAMON: While cinnamon is a classic spice for peach crisp, you can try other warm spices like nutmeg or cardamom to give your dessert a unique twist.

VANILLA EXTRACT: To enhance the vanilla flavor or try something new, you can substitute vanilla extract with almond or coconut extract.

How To Make This Peach Crisp Recipe

Crisp recipes are so easy to make as they are simply a layer of fruit topped with a crunchy topping.

The peaches are prepared first and added to your baking pan. Next, you can mix up the crisp topping, which is spread over top of the juicy peaches.

Pop in the oven and bake until bubbling. Follow our step-by-step instructions below to make this dessert.

OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS

You can throw together the topping the night before and store it in the fridge until you are ready to assemble this fruit crisp.

STEP ONE: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Spray a 9×9-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Set it aside.

STEP TWO: Add the thawed frozen peaches and juice to a medium bowl.

Pour the granulated sugar and four tablespoons of flour over the peaches.

Stir to thoroughly coat the peaches. Continue to stir until no flour clumps remain. Pour the peaches into the prepared baking dish.

STEP THREE: You can use a pastry blender/cutter, a food processor, or your hands to blend the flour, dark brown sugar, cinnamon, and cold cubed butter.

If you are using a pastry cutter or your hands, add the topping ingredients to a medium-sized mixing bowl.

Work the cold butter cubes into the flour mixture. Be careful not to over-blend. You want the mixture to be coarse crumbs.

If you are using a food processor, pulse just until the mixture is coarse crumbs. 

PRO TIP:

To make sure this turns out crisp, take the oat mixture, press it into balls, and break off pieces to sprinkle on top. This allows the best air circulation during baking and turns the topping into crispy pieces that resemble nuggets of oatmeal cookies.

STEP FOUR: Stir in the oats and evenly spread the topping over top of the peaches.

Bake for 45 to 50 minutes until the oat topping is golden brown. Serve while still warm. 

PRO TIP:

Oven temperatures vary and may need to be recalibrated periodically to ensure they are accurate. Make sure to check your crisp at the lower end of the recommended baking time.

Peach Crisp Recipe Easy Serving Suggestions

Since this delicious dessert is made with frozen peaches, it is the perfect treat to enjoy year-round.

Serve your easy peach crisp with whipped cream on top and a scoop of ice cream on the side.

Peach desserts are always a delightful addition to any meal. Our peach shortcake and peach Cool Whip pie are two of our favorite recipes.

How To Store Easy Peach Crisp

We’ve got you covered with some handy tips to ensure your peach crisp stays as scrumptious as the day it was baked.

MAKE AHEAD: You can make the peach crisp ahead of time, especially when you’re prepping for a gathering or simply want to save some time on busy days.

Once you’ve baked and cooled the crisp, cover it tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Pop it in the fridge if you’re planning to serve it within the next 24 hours.

IN THE FRIDGE: Store leftovers covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. 

IN THE FREEZER: You can freeze the unbaked crisp for up to three months.

Since the crisp is frozen, add an extra 15 to 20 minutes at 350°F to reheat it. Keep a close eye on the crisp to make sure the topping does not burn.

Simple Peach Crisp Recipe FAQs

Can I make crisp without oats?

You could make homemade peach crisp without oats. Instead, top with a crumble topping of ¾ cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 cup of all-purpose flour, and ½ cup of unsalted butter, melted. Combine and sprinkle on top of your fruit filling.

What is the difference between a fruit cobbler and a fruit crisp?

Both a cobbler and crisp are baked fruit desserts. Cobblers use either a biscuit or cake mix along with fruit, while crisp toppings are made up of sugar, butter, oats, and cinnamon and have more of a crumbly and granular look.

Can I use fresh peaches in this classic peach crisp recipe?

You can use fresh, juicy peaches, or you could use canned peaches in this delicious peach crisp recipe.
